Last year's NBA All-Star Weekend gave us one of our most iconic moments: the Vernon Maxwell episode. Not only does it stand as one of our funniest and most-watched episodes of all time, but it also brought Mad Max into the ALL THE SMOKE family as a permanent part of the show. So naturally, we had to run it back with this year's live show at The Lighthouse Campus in Venice.

We caught up with Max to talk about how his life has changed since that episode and what he's been up to lately. We also sat down with Craig Hodges to discuss his record-setting NBA Three-Point Contest wins, Symba to break down his cutting-edge approach to breaking into the rap game, and Jenna Bandy to talk about her experience in the NBA Celebrity Game and how she built her career as a content creator.

This one is packed with laughs, completely unfiltered, in the only way ALL THE SMOKE knows how.

NBA FIGHT NIGHT on ALL THE SMOKE

Matt Barnes, Stephen Jackson, and Vernon “Mad Max” Maxwell break down the wild Hornets–Pistons scuffle that saw Isaiah Stewart SNAP off the bench and charge the floor. The guys give their unfiltered take on what went down, whether the trip was intentional, and how many games Stewart should (and will) get suspended.

The crew also debates what it means when teammates “duck the smoke,” with Duncan Robinson in the spotlight, and whether every player should ride for their squad the way the old school did.
